Response to NDP Infrastructure announcement

The NDP’s infrastructure pledge is nothing more than re-announcing old failed promises to Manitobans. For years the Selinger NDP has made infrastructure promises they just don’t keep:

The $10 billion pledge was first announced in 2013 when they hiked the PST.

The 100,000 jobs are person-years of employment.

The NDP continues to ignore their partners at the municipal level by promoting their own pet projects instead of infrastructure that municipalities want and need (ex. Louise Bridge not a priority for City of Winnipeg).

The NDP continue to re-announce projects year after year such as the cloverleaf on highway 59 and the perimeter (first announced in 2007, second announcement in 2011, re-announced in 2014 and again in 2015).

For the past 4 years, the NDP underspent their own budget on infrastructure such as roads, highways and bridges by over $300 million.

A new Progressive Conservative government will invest no less than $1 billion a year in strategic infrastructure with the goal of supporting economic growth in Manitoba. Our funding will be guaranteed and predictable to enable better civic and business planning and will provide a measurable return on investment.

We believe in strategic infrastructure investment that will help grow Manitoba’s economy as part of our Better Plan for a Better Manitoba.
